I build walls around my soul
So I don’t have to see myself fall
From the very walls I build
Out of hopes and dreams, filled
To the top with an ocean of regret,
Looking out for help from atop the parapet,
Be it a boat of love or hate,
Anything that could possible penetrate
The walls around my soul and make
Me a better person, not just some fake
Friend with fake hugs and fake words,
Saying nice things but I can tell the true meaning’s absurd
And I can tell they are nothing but words,
Still from the mouth of someone real, not fake,
Someone who cares enough to chance a stake
In my life, trying to go through the walls and penetrate
My truth so that I don’t have to hate
All that is called out from the parapet
Of another’s mind, who knows regret
Can destroy a heart that is filled
With the very love that is used to build
Great relationships that never fall,
So I destroy the walls around my soul
To be with her, once and for all.
